SCOTT NIXON

AI Engineer & System Orchestrator

I orchestrate AI agents to build software. Plan. Delegate. Test. Ship.

4B+ tokens processed in 2025

20+ years at the intersection of infrastructure and innovation — from racking servers and writing Perl scripts to architecting cloud-native platforms and leading AI engineering teams. My career has always been about finding leverage: automating the tedious, scaling the impactful, and shipping the ambitious.


Today I'm an AI Engineer / Platform Engineer at Citigroup, building AI-powered tools that transform how a global financial institution operates. I also vibe code — orchestrating Claude Code and autonomous agents through the plan/delegate/test loop. The result: 4–6x more productive than traditional development, with over 4 billion tokens processed in 2025 alone.
